Immobilized enzyme-based enzyme electrode biosensors, characterized by high sensitivity and efficiency, strong specificity, and compact size, demonstrate broad application prospects in life science research, disease diagnosis and monitoring, etc. Immobilization of enzyme is a critical step in determining the performance (stability, sensitivity, and reproducibility) of the biosensors. Random immobilization (physical adsorption, covalent cross-linking, etc.) can easily bring about problems, such as decreased enzyme activity and relatively unstable immobilization. Whereas, directional immobilization utilizing amino acid residue mutation, affinity peptide fusion, or nucleotide-specific binding to restrict the orientation of the enzymes provides new possibilities to solve the problems caused by random immobilization. In this paper, the principles, advantages and disadvantages and the application progress of enzyme electrode biosensors of different directional immobilization strategies for enzyme molecular sensing elements by specific amino acids (lysine, histidine, cysteine, unnatural amino acid) with functional groups introduced based on site-specific mutation, affinity peptides (gold binding peptides, carbon binding peptides, carbohydrate binding domains) fused through genetic engineering, and specific binding between nucleotides and target enzymes (proteins) were reviewed, and the application fields, advantages and limitations of various immobilized enzyme interface characterization techniques were discussed, hoping to provide theoretical and technical guidance for the creation of high-performance enzyme sensing elements and the manufacture of enzyme electrode sensors.

Background::One of the significant challenges for cell therapies, such as chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cell therapy, is the poor infiltration of immune cells into tumor tissues. CAR-monocytes/macrophages (CAR-M) are promising therapies because of their enrichment in the tumor microenvironment. Thus, we constructed a novel CAR-M to facilitate the infiltration of T cells and other immune cells.Methods::The suicide gene inducible caspase-9 ( iCasp9) and anti-erb-b2 receptor tyrosine kinase 2 (HER2) CAR elements were transfected into THP1 (an immortalized human monocyte cell line) by lentivirus. The suicide efficiency and specific anti-tumor efficacy were assessed using flow cytometry, inCucyte, and tumor-bearing BALB/c-nude mouse models. The activation of related signaling pathways in CAR-THP1 activation was explored by transcriptome sequencing. Finally, the synergistic therapeutic efficacy of CAR-THP1 combined with RAK cell treatment was demonstrated in tumor-bearing NOD.CB17-Prkdc scid Il2rg tm1/Bcgen mouse models. Results::We developed a novel CAR-THP1, which incorporated iCasp9, CD3ζ, and CD147 intracellular segments, based on the first-generation HER2-CAR backbone. By constructing and comparing a series of CARs with different permutations, CAR-CD3ζ-CD147-iCasp9-THP1 was selected as the optimal combination. CAR-CD3ζ-CD147-iCasp9-THP1 initiated suicide quickly and efficiently under the control of iCasp9 gene, which enabled us to achieve controlled proliferation of CAR-THP1. CAR-THP1 also exhibited robust specific anti-tumor efficacy independently of T cells in vitro and in vivo. Through transcriptional sequencing, we found that CAR-THP1 tended to differentiate into the M1 phenotype and bridged innate and adaptive immunity. A combination of CAR-THP1 and Retronectin actived killer cells (RAKs) showed better therapeutic efficiency, as the metalloproteinases (MMPs) secreted by CAR-THP1 facilitated the degradation of the dense tumor matrix. This further assisted intratumoral infiltration of T cells and augmented the anti-tumor immune response. Conclusion::CAR-THP1 might be effective against HER2-positive tumor cells and has great potential for combination therapy with other immune cells.

In recent years,the application of long non-coding RNAs(lncRNAs)in the treatment of dis-eases has been widely concerned.LncRNAs have been proved to play a crucial role in tumor therapy.They usually act as oncogene or suppressor genes to regulate the occurrence and development of tumors.Previously,our group discovered a new lncRNA 606938 that can be used as a target in colorectal cancer through transcriptome analysis.However,its molecular mechanism in colorectal cancer is still unclear.In this study,RT-qPCR test shows that lncRNA 606938 is low expressed in colorectal cancer cell lines com-pared with normal colon epithelial cells.The clonogenicity was decreased by 97%and 54.5%in lncRNA 606938 overexpressed DLD-1 and SW620 cells,respectively.The results of flow cytometry assay showed that overexpression of lncRNA 606938 caused cell cycle arrest at G1 phase(They were prolonged by 50.5%and 63.9%,respectively)and promoted apoptosis of colorectal cancer cells,which was increased by 1.9%and 3.3%,respectively.Western blot results showed that overexpression of lncRNA 606938 down-regulated the expression of related oncogenes(β-catenin,c-Myc,cyclin D1,cyclin D2,cyclin D3,CDK 4,CDK 6)in colorectal cancer cells,and the expression of tumor suppressor genes(TRIM33,caspase 2,and actived caspase 3)was up-regulated.The above results were reversed after knockdown of lncRNA 606938.Mechanistically,it has been confirmed through RNA pulldown assay,RIP assay,and Rescue assay that lncRNA 606938 can target and promote TRIM33 expression,thereby promoting the degradation of β-catenin and blocking the expression of β-catenin and its downstream oncogenes such as c-Myc and cycline D1 to inhibit the progression of colorectal cancer.This study elucidates the molecular mechanism by which the lncRNA 606938 targets TRIM33/β-catenin signaling pathway,inhibits the pro-liferation and promotes the apoptosis of colorectal cancer cells.This study reveals the potential of lncRNA 606938 as a tumor suppressor gene,providing new target and strategies for the clinical treatment of color-ectal cancer.
